A glimpse into Bali.....

The squirrels were loads of entertainment, certainly not shy of the large humans.   We are the animal loving family, so the turtle farm is a definite "do not go to" it broke my heart and made me want to come back that evening and bust the fence down so these sweet little creatures could bust free!  We nearly had Valentin thrown in jail entering the country, now momma was going to hit the pen for freeing the cages furry animals. Regarding Valentin's near encounter with jail.  Back story, I had been telling him for MONTHS, you need to get a new passport because his pages were nearly full from all of his travel stamps, you have to have an open page to enter a country, possibly two if a visa is needed and stamp. Well we fly into Bali, and who doesn't have enough space in his passport for the needed entry stamps/visa YEP!  We are pulled to a side office (my brain immediately flashes to ...Americans go missing in Thailand news story). The immigration team immediately inform us of the reason we have been brought in and we need to leave the country,  WHAT, and yes I shot the look of.......how many times have I told you to get a new passport!!!!! Talking between us, the immigration rep and him going between his boss, "fee's' paid and we were on our way, but WOW not the entry we were expecting.   The beautiful monkey "Todd" another one I wanted to put in my bag and steal away which would have added another jail expedition, was a Fanta Crack addict, no joke.  You would walk by his cage and he would freak out if the kids wouldn't give him their minature glass fanta bottles, poor thing was a trip.  Andre' gave him his little coke bottle, and he took a sip and shook his head like he just put hot sauce in his mouth, non to pleased that it wasn't Fanta. I had to keep repeating to myself, this is what is feeding the locals, all of us crazy tourists paying to come see their locked down turtles, crack fanta monkey....a memory I soon won't forgot.  His face will be blown up and gracing my walls because he is such of memory from our trip.
